Prologue
Having just returned from the hospital, Makoto quickly returns to her flower bakery shop before it opens. The reason she went to see her doctor, who is also one of her best friend's, Ami Mizuno, was because for the last six months she and her husband have not been able to conceive. This made Makoto worried that she might be infertile, so she privately booked an appointment to meet with Ami, so that she can figure out what to do.
"There is nothing wrong with your body Mako-chan, from what I gather, is that you're not feeding your body enough nutrients..." That wasn't the hard part for Makoto to accept, because what Ami told her afterwards, felt like a lightning bolt struck to her chest. "You're going to have to cut down on the pastries for a while, as well as cutting down on carbs and trans fats."
"You're telling me, a baker, that my chances of getting pregnant rely on me not eating the foods I make for a living!" She dramatically screeches at the top of her voice.
"Hey! I told Usagi to follow the same diet as well, God knows what Mamo-chan went through with preventing her from binge eating while she was pregnant with Chibiusa-chan." Ami shudders at the memory of a crying Usagi coming to her and Zoisite's house at 1 in the morning, right after she finished breastfeeding their own daughter and putting her to sleep again; only to complain how cruel Mamoru was being to her for not letting her go buy a tub of chocolate ice-cream for herself.
When she arrived to her shop, she grabs the keys from her pocket, and then opens it while turning the fluorescent ceiling lights on to begin her day. 'No more sweets until I get pregnant!' She promises herself, determined. She and her husband were the only couple in their circle of friends who haven't received any good news of becoming parents; Ami and Zoisite who now goes by Zen Mizuoh have a 5 month old daughter whom they named Ameko, Minako and Kunzite who now goes by Kenshiro Saitou have a pair of fraternal twins of 9 months whom they named Chiharu and Hikaru, Rei and Jadeite who now goes by Jakuchu Kurosaki have a 6 month old son whom they named Fudo, and lastly Mamoru and Usagi who have just recently had Chibiusa about a week ago. Which left her and her husband Nephrite who now goes by Naoki Senju childless. Ever since she met Nephrite' actual incarnate; not the puppet she fought against who was brainwashed by Beryl, she was determined to have the family with him that she couldn't have in the Silver Millennium.
For the next four weeks, Makoto strictly avoided all things sugary, and trained extra hard with Haruka and Michiru, who were more than happy to comply once they were told of Makoto's goal of having a baby. Everyday after her shop would close, she would go over to Haruka and Michiru's place to train for two hours and then go home before Naoki would come home from his work at the astrophysics lab. By the time she'd arrive home, she would take a five minute shower and then miraculously cook edible and digestible dinner for Naoki and herself.

After another grueling session with Haruka and Michiru, Makoto didn't think she'd have the energy to cook dinner when she got home tonight.
When she opened the door, she was surprised to see Naoki already prepping dinner in the kitchen, with his hair tied in a loose ponytail while looking effortlessly sexy in a black wife beater and grey sweatpants; she gulped. 'This is going to be a long evening.' She sighed, at this rate, she'd probably start pouncing him before either of them begin to eat dinner.
"You're home." He gives her a lopsided grin, while he continues to stir whatever it is in the cooking pot. "Go take a shower, I'll have dinner ready by the time you're done." He shoos her away, "You reek of workout sweat." He playfully covers his nose, which earned a soft smack on his back from her.
Dinner went by uneventful, and as soon as Makoto finished washing the dishes, she shyly excuses herself from Naoki's alluring presence when she says "I have...to go do...taxes and -" She never got to finish her sentence, because she was forcefully pulled close to his chest, his arms wrapped around her waist in an iron hold. 'No, no, we can't-' Her thought process was interrupted when she felt her husband's satin lips on her's.
'It's been so long since we've been together like this.' Makoto gives in, and lets him take over while she wraps her legs around him. She feels him untying her ponytail so he can rub his fingers between her chocolate brown locks as she decides to kiss him back harder to make up a month's passion.
Unfortunately, the need for oxygen came, and both of them look into each other's eyes clouded with lust.
"Now that I have your attention, would you mind explaining why you've been so distant this past month?" He continues to hold her her against him, as if she weighed nothing more than a feather.
"I...I wanted to get myself in better shape, because...well, that way" she shyly buries her face in his shoulder and confesses to him, "we can successfully conceive a baby." Now she was sure her entire face was scarlet red.
As for Naoki, his entire body stiffened, he had not been expecting to hear that of all things. Out of pure impulse he carries her like a sack of potatoes on his shoulder and bolts up to their bedroom.
